The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, alleges infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,578,873 based on MasterCraft's Gen 2 Surf System and the NXT Surf System.

"Malibu is entitled to millions of dollars in compensation for MasterCraft's infringement and to an injunction precluding MasterCraft from selling boats or features that infringe Malibu's valuable intellectual property,” the complaint said.
